THE DYING STATESMAN.

Mr.. MANNING'S death will be ma
tiOnal bereavement. Probably no Amer
lean with so short a public record ever
made such a lasting national reputation
as DANIEL MANNING. His whole pub
lie life is compressed within few
months service at the head of the treas
ury portfolio, and yet his retirement
from Office was looked upon in the light
of a national calamity. Still, Mr.. MAN
MING was not an unknown man when
he came into President CLEvELAND's
cabinet. Although not an officeholder,
he had been conspicuous figure in ma
tional politics for great many years.
and was recognized as a leader of the
national Democracy. His sterling quail
tiles of head and heart capacitated him
for leadership. When the reform adj
ministration came into power and Mr..
CLEVELAND undertook the responsible
task of forming cabinet qualified to aid
him in accomplishing the great reforms
which were expected of his administra-
ton, Mr.. MANNING was the first man
upon whom his eye was cast, and the
first to be invited to occupy cabinet
position. The country readily recog-
niZed the wisdom of the choice, and the
few months devoted by Mr.. MANNING
to the public service fully confirmed the
presidents confidence in his ability and
integrity.

good deal of a struggle is going on
among the different railroads in the Western
association in regard to carnival rates. The
old Minnesota Northwestern road has
made fare round trip rate, and some of
the other roads in the association desire to
make the same rate. This. however meets
with good deal of opposition. II is difficult
TO foreteH the result, but the best opinion
seems to be that the reduced rate named
above will be the one that will be accepted

Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-In the SEN
ate to-day the morning business was
very unimpOrtant. On motion of Mr..
Allison the senate, at 1:15 p. M, went
into secret session. and at l:45 p. III. the
doors were reOpened, and. as mark of
respect to the late Representative Moi
fatt, of Michigan, the senate adjourned
until Jan. 4, 1888.
When the house met today the desk
recently occupied by Mr.. MOffatt, of
Michigan, who died in Providence hos
pital this morning, was draped in en-
blems of mourning and decked with
flowers. Dir. Burrows, of Michigan,
said that it became his painful duty, ON
behalf of the Michigan delegation, to
announce to the house the death of Hon.
Seth c. Moffatt. In his death the dele
CATION felt personal bereavement, and
his state had lost wise and able con-
gresham. Mr.. Burrows then offered
series of resolutions which were unani-
mously adopted, expressing the regret
with which the house had heard of Mr..
Moffatt's death, and providing for the
appointment of a joint committee of
seven representatives and three SEN
atOrS to superintend the funeral and eS-
cort the remains to the place of burial.
The house then, at Ills, as mark of
respect to the memory of the deceased,
adjourned to meet on Wednesday, Jan.
4, 1888.

DRAMATIC NOTES.

NEWTON BEERS Lost In London
which was creditably produced at the
Grand last night, may be described as
lyric, Spectacular, vaudeville, operate
melo-drama. 1t is combination of all
these features closely woven together,
and is play which affords pleasant
evenings entertainment. In the plot
the play is something after the 'Ostler
Joe style. The pretty young wife of an
honest old Lancashire miner goes
wrong. She is seduced away from
home by the oily tongue of fine city
gentleman. The deserted husband
continues to love, and spends
months in hunting for her in the great
city of London. On stormy night he
stops in the street under the window of
a brilliantly lighted mansion, where a
fete is in progress and recognizes, the
faithIess wife on the balcony above
him. He rushes in and the frolivities
are brought to sudden termination by
the recognition and the scene that fol-

stripes. Their main popularity is, how
ever, that they have solid light gold or
silver color on their heads as we'll de
fined from the rest OF their plumage as
the tOrsure on monks head.
THE YORKSHIRE FANCY
is another kind. They are extremely
large canaries, with fluffy feathers.
About two years ago new variety was
introduced in Yorkshire-the cayenne
pepper-fed canaries. By feeding the
old birds on a certain preparation, which
was mainly made up of red pepper, the
young, as they were Matched, became
was given the parents the redder were
their young.
1.-The finest of all canarieS, however,
is the st. AndreaSberg bird, so called
after one of the Hartz mountains, Ger
many. St. Andreasberg is also the
name of town of about 1000 inhabit-
ants, the principal industry of whichiS
raising canaries. Every one is in the
business there, but there are certain
breeders who give it more particular
care, and they have great reputation
throughout Germany. 1t is almost i'm
possible to import the very finest st.
Andreasberg canarieS to this country.
They are snapped up by the big Ger
man fanciers, who will pay as high as
400 or 500 marks for good singer.
Think of canary bird costing $3.50!
1.-THE st. Andreasburg trained canary
common bird and its plumage is not SO
bright and pretty. But its song is per-
lection. BY judiciously mating the
birds of the.mOst pronounced excellence
the breeders are able to produce those
from whose song all harsh notes have
been eliminated. The music which
these little fellows can trill forth is eX-
auisite, but it is all the result of the
most careful instruction. A perfectly.
trained canary will begin its song with
a few faint notes, which sound like the
first twittering of birds at dawn, heard
when you are half asleep. 1t is mere
suggestion of song. Then will come
a rOll-still very faint-in three octaves,
first low. then higher, and then down
again. Gradually the tone increases in
volume until it bursts forth in all its
rich fullness.
CANARIEs HAVE THEIR MAEsTRos,
both human and of their own kind. At
placed in rooms where five old singers
are kept in dark boxes made of pecu-'
liar wood, which acts like the sounding
board of piano, so as to give their
songs greater fullness. In these
boxes are small air holes. When the
front of the boxes are taken off and
light is let in. these old professionals
will begin to sing. The pupils listen
attentiYely. and, being very imitotive,
soon learn to sing that way too. When
they have picked up all the fine notes
which the Instructor can give them. the
owners will have flute or piccol0
played in the room, nightingale will
be allowed to sing to them and wild
forest bird will be occasionally intro
duced. When their educations are COM
pleted they have diplomas tackled on
their cages and are sold.

WHY SHOULD THEYGRUMBLE.

Some of our Chicago contemporaries
are grumbling a good deal at Collector
SEEBERGER just now because the fact
has been lately developed that out of
ninety-two Republican employees in the
customs Office when the Democratic col
lector took charge, but five now remain.
Of course the fault-fnding journals are
all of the Republican persuasion.
The Democratic papers see no reason
for fault finding. nor should any other.
1t is not denied that the Democrats
who took the places vacated by the Re
publicans are capable officials. Not a
word has been said against either their
integrity or their ability. On the con-
trary the efficiency of the Offices work
ing force has increased in a marked de-
gree. Therefore, why should there be
mourning and carping?
Did the Republicans have life lease
on the offices? 1t is not so nominated
in their bond. Are they in sympathy
with the present administration in its
efforts TO give the people better gov
eminent? The very fact of their having
occupied the positions they did is an
answer to the contrary. Collector SEE
BERGER has simply surrounded himself
by men upon whom he could depend,
who are in thorough sympathy with his
ideas regarding the proper conducting
of the collectors office and who, besides
being Democrats, are in most cases bet
ter men than those they replace.
BY their own action when in power
the Republicans have shown that this
is the theory in which they believe.
Why, then, should they grumble when
it is put in practice by the Democrats?

If the truly good people of New York

elbows with the wicked in fashionable

palsy, says the New York Sun. The bad
ones are so audacious. Some enviOus
chap, with a rather artistic pencil, has
for week past annoyed the AstOrs and
Vanderbilts by chalking effigies of the
ladies of those families on the doOr-Steps
of their houses. The caricatures had
every evidence of extreme haste, show
ing that the midnight portraiture was by
somebody who didn't desire to be caught
at it. He used his crayon with
skill enough to produce recognize
able hkenesses, however. and the
poses. were not pleasant. He

managed to elude the vigilance of the
private watchmen who guard these
houses. He seems to have known when

THE CABLE COMPLETE.

At last the public heart is gladdened
by the news of the cable lines compile
ton. Through many months of weary
waiting the people of st. Paul have
hoped, doubted. feared and rejoiced
alternately. They have watched the
progress of the line with intense inter-
est ever since the beginning of work,
and have listened with fiattering atten-
ton to every statement made by the
managers. But now all doubt is at
rest. The essential work on the line is
done. There is no real obstacle in the
way of running cars at any time so far
as the mechanism of the cable is con-
cerned. But for the fact that the tracks
are coyere d with SNOW, cars could be
running to-day. The managers OF the
line owe something to the people. They
should pay this debt by clearing the
tracks at once, and with an adequate

WAUsAU, Wis, Dec. 22.-Early next
spring the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railway company will push its
present terminus, Tomahawk City,
north to Lake Superior. 1t will also
build branch line from this city south
east to Winneconne, and when both are
completed the st. Paul company will
have the shortest line to the lake, pass
ing through a rich belt of timbered
country, and visiting the mineral re-
gions of Northern Michigan and Wis
consin. Many of the railroad officials
are said to be heavily interested in the
great GOgebic iron country, and that as
soon as the road is completed it will
have its share of the carrying trade
from that productive country. How
ever that may be, preparations are al
ready completed to push the road as
soon as spring opens.

HostiIities Renewed.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The Chicago &
Alton has reopened the Western freight
war by making a reduction of 10 per
cent in the rates between Chicago and
st. Louis. The rates were reduced on
Tuesday throughout Illinois by the Bur-
lington 81 Wabash, and the Chicago
st. Louis rates cut down 25 per cent.
The Alton at the time refused to
consent to these rates, and an
nOunced that it would make
its own tariffs to suit itself. Now it
comes out with 10 per cent cut all
around. The rate on first-class freight
this week has been reduced II cents a
hundred, and On other classes in pro-
portion, and there is every prospect of
their going much lower. The Wabash
and the Illinois Central will both meet
the Atoms reductions tomorrow.

LONDON, Dec. 22.-Lord Randolph
Churchill's visit to st. Petersburg APP
pears to be exciting great deal more
comment than such a commonplace and
customary event should. While the
newspapers on the continent are at
tempting to construe the private jour-
ney of an English gentleman into
mission undertaken with some political
view in end. English journalists are
complaining that the visit is in6ppOr
tune, and made with no good intention.
in leader devoted to the subject, as
SertS that the object of the visit is in
imieal to SaliSbury'S government and
may prove detrimental to England's
neutral position in the present strained
situation of continental affairs. Lord
Randolph may be UnioniSt," says the
Gazette, 'but he certainly is not Con-
sentative: and, further, be holds the
personnel of the government in absO-
lutte contempt and deSpises the whole
number that compose it." The Leader
says that it is time that the serious at
tentiOn of the government was given to
the erratic proceedings of the most
reckless of the English politicians.
The police are giving more intense
coloring to their dynamite plot inveSti-
cations by taking out warrants for Gen.
Millen and Melville. 1t is strongly
suspected, however, that their only OBJ
Ject is to effect scare among suspected
dynamiters, and to appear sagaeious
and alert. The police who applied for

to think that the suspected men might

Trouble between hunters and farmers
have again sprung up in Ireland.
Lovers of the chase appear to think
that they have the right to jump any
body'S fences, and tear across anybody'S
fields, since it affords amusement to
them, no matter how much harm they
caused by so doing. The farmer is an
unmannerly boor if he objects, and
must be reduced to terms at once. The
farmers, or number of them, in the
counties of Meath and Dublin, gave
notice to-day that their lands would be
poisoned in order to prevent the hunt
ing nuisance. This has enraged the
horsemen, who declare that they will
abandon the races at Punchestown if
the hunting is stopped in Kildare.
Previous to entering the court room
to-day Father Ryan addressed the
crowd and repeated the advice
he had given them for which he
was tried, urging them to hold fast to
the plan of campaign, and to do all they
could to protect the homes of Ireland.
1t is improbable that Father Ryan will
be subjected TO the indignity of wearing
the prison garb during his month of i'm
priSOnment, as no Catholic warden
would be willing, even at the command
of the government. to commit the
sacrilege of using force toward priest.
